VERY IMPORTANT BIRD FACT: the collective noun for a group of penguins on land is a "waddle". A WADDLE.

I love this model. 7 people who know stuff sit in 7 different pubs, waiting for fools to join them. Folks wander between these pubs, certain of interesting conversation in each one. Could be done with cafes too

so proud of all the marginalised devs who have refused to shut up and be grateful. the fight for justice continues, all the stronger without "allies" who are anything but kotaku.com/game-awards-...

Okay okay so I lied. One more 😆 and it’s skant time #startrektng #startrek #fanart #fashionillustration

I guess I need to apologize to the writers of Alien: Prometheus. it turns out scientists really do touch everything like that

This time last year, @tansyrr.bsky.social gave us her list of the great (male) brutes and villains of the #Discworld... Read it here (for free!): www.speculativeinsight.com/essays/brutes-villains

Went a bit numbers overnight gang

If Funko goes down, Forbidden Planet goes down btw

This fantastic essay by @maxgladstone.bsky.social precisely and elegantly captures the feeling that the Internet has moved beyond "eternal September," but as a natural consequence of its attention capitalizing nature.

Two episodes into Plur1bus and it’s incredible. Also, and this delights me more than anything else about it, it’s the smartest riff on an old idea (And one I love!) I’ve seen in a while.

This essay is really good. And absolutely reflects my experiences.

just listening back to some of my recent tunes, as one does, and I reckon you might've missed this one from the @shiftctrlmusic.com compilation, so let's give it another go 'round eh? sort of a plagueified take on something like DJ Shadow, Endtroducing period... perhaps.

My two favorite movies of the year have been Superman and Frankenstein. Curiously enough both explore what’s to be human, what’s to be kind, and the arrogance of men who think they are smarter than the rest but their hubris is their downfall.

Ye Amazing @siennatristen.bsky.social is here! Go back their Kickstarter with IMMEDIACY! (I got a wee listen a while ago and it is going to rock your socks) www.kickstarter.com/projects/sie...

I had to

Hey y'all? We don't have to relitigate the 2000s Fantastic Four movies, you can just ignore That One Guy if you want to. We can be free.

You should watch Jay Dahl’s THERE ARE MONSTERS (2013), in which some graduate students making a film discover a quiet, insidious apocalypse happening all around them. Invasion Of The Body Snatchers by way of Unedited Footage Of A Bear / This House Has People In It. Feels evil.

One of my all time favourites:)

I'm almost done with Wick is Pain and there are two beats, a few minutes apart, which speak volumes. One is director and former stunt double Chad Stahleski, waxing lyrical about how stunties' job is to be anonymous and that they're lucky to be part of the industry.

wasn't joking: desangeswritings.wordpress.com/2024/12/20/a...

And the second is a FREE solo or duet game about being the final girl (non-gendered) in the final act of a slasher film.

Laughed until I couldn’t breathe for the entirety of Stellar Firma live! Team @goblinspod.bsky.social are some of the most relentlessly talented, funny, deeply lovely people in the field! Such a great night and so lovely to see so many folks!

One more for the morning crowd: go play the demo for this. It is *special*.

The WAC is a hugely important resource for historians (I've made extensive use of it on multiple projects) and these hugely significant changes are an effective bar on access.

This is the same millionaire who was paid to act in the new Safdie movie and proceeded to loudly honk about how much money movies could save by using AI instead of extras. Never seeing that fucking movie. Never taking this bleating sack of venture capital seriously about anything.

I don’t mean to imply that if you’re an influencer I don’t respect you I mean to state plainly that I don’t.

Aaaahhhhhhhaahhhh everyone check out how cool my perfect chonky robot son looks!! Writing Metalhead and designing the narrative for this DLC is probably my favorite thing I’ve done in game dev. Super stoked it’s finally out there for people to play and experience.

AK is one of my dearest friends, a tireless advocate for community and speaks nothing but the truth here.

Lemme give you an example of why behaving like an event's covid policy magically doesn't apply to you is dogwater behaviour. Not that people who do this care about the fallout, they got what they wanted. Regardless, let's begin. 🧵

"Slaughterhouse Five" is a good book. This reminds me that in the last 2 years, numerous conservatives and fake-liberals have defended the WW2 Dresden bombing as "that's just how you fight a war". Vonnegut's 60-year-old Dresden book makes the counterargument "No it's not and you're a sicko"

PROJECT TRANSCEND NEEDS YOUR HELP In addition to covering additional materials costs and artist and staff payments, we're stretching our budget to help support artists who have lost access to SNAP. If you're in a position to throw a few bucks our way, please, please do.

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Wow! 😮🤩 There's a new interactive map of Every Known Road in the Roman Empire!! 🤓 itiner-e.org We might have to have a lie-down.

Finally some good fucking food

okay, i've been burnt out on comics for a hot minute but THIS, this makes me so excited for the medium again. it is so good! the lettering! the paneling! the vibes! absolutely incredible.
